function problem

stezz

hi!

I am writing a function that takes two paramaters. the function is supposed to draw a table using the given paramaters as how many rows to write and how many cols to write.

example..
DrawMap(10, 10);
draw a table that's got 10 rows and 10 cols.

here's my function...

Function DrawMap($cellsdown, $cellsacross) {
$height = 10;
$width = 5;
$writetd = "<td width=$width height=$height> </td>";
$writetr = "<tr align=\"center\">";
$finalwrite = "$writetr\n $writetd\n";

echo "<table background=\"/nrgs/images/mapbg.gif\" width=55% cellspacing=3 cellpadding=3 border=1 align=\"center\">\n";
for($i = 0; $i < $cellsacross; $i++) {
	echo $finalwrite;
}

}

the function as it is writes 10 rows but one cols.

How do I make it so that it'll write the 10 rows and the 10 cols?

Thanx.

Regards, Stezz.

It seems that you've not use the variable $cellsdown, which is passed from the function, to draw the table. I think this is the main problem!!
Hope this help.

and you don't close the tr/table-tags

Hi again!

Iv'e changed my function to this and now it isn't printing out anything...

Function DrawMap($cellsdown, $cellsacross) {
$height = 10;
$width = 5;
$writeit = "<tr align=\"center\"><td width=$width height=$height> </td></tr>";
$subtract = $cellsacorss - 1;

	echo "\n<head>\n<title>NRGS - Map</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n";
echo "<table background=\"/nrgs/images/mapbg.gif\" width=55% cellspacing=3 cellpadding=3 border=1 align=\"center\">\n";
for($i = 0; $i < $cellacross; $i++) {
	echo $writeit;
}
    echo "</table>\n</body>\n";

}

Now you're not using $subtract or $cellsdown anywhere. You've only got one loop - that should ring warning bells.

Dunno why you've written it like that, but...

<?php

function drawmap($cellsdown,$cellsacross){

$height=10;
$width=4;

echo"\n<head>\n<title>NRGS - Map</title>\n</head>\n<body>\n";

echo"<table background='/nrgs/images/mapbg.gif' width='55%' cellspacing='3' cellpadding='3' broder='1' align='center'>\n";
for($i=0;$i<$cellsdown;$i++) {
echo "<tr>";
for($j=0;$j<$cellsacross;$j++){
echo "<td width='$width' height='$height'> </td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table>\n</body>\n";

drawmap(10,10);
